President Donald Trump on Monday said American forces had attacked and destroyed a second small boat purportedly carrying narcotics from Venezuela to the United States, killing three people whom he referred to, in a social media post, as “narcoterrorists.”
Writing on Truth Social, Trump said the “second kinetic strike” had been carried out on his orders against “positively identified, extraordinarily violent drug trafficking cartels and narcoterrorists” operating in the area of responsibility for the U.S. Southern Command.
